Physics-defying stunts
In all these dramas, the Chinese warriors, often with little except bows and arrow, more than hold their own against well-trained and better-armed Japanese soldiers. They dodge bullets with the ease of Keanu Reeves in one of the "The Matrix" movies.
To appreciate these physics-defying stunts, we must not bother with technical questions about the characters' uncanny ability to defy gravity or how the explosion of a hand grenade could destroy an aircraft flying at high speed. No wonder that some commentators have noted, tongue in cheek, that confronted with such formidable enemies, it's a miracle that the Japanese had managed to hang on for eight years.
According to a funny tale that went viral online, a Japanese tourist asked his Chinese guide to take him to a battlefield where many Japanese had fought and died. Due to the language barrier, misunderstanding or intentional prank, the tourist was taken to Hengdian, a film studio in Zhejiang Province, where everyday "Japanese" are "slaughtered wholesale" by their Chinese "nemesis."
CCTV released figures last week showing that from January to March, more than 30 series about the war were being filmed or planned. In Hengdian alone, from January 30 to March 2, 10,846 "Japanese troops" were "annihilated."
